Nato ......bah bah😝😝

I love love love natos and zulus. I'm not into leather watch straps and metal bracelets (in hot weather climates) are just uncomfortable on my wrist. But you are absolutely spot on; natos do make some watches ride very high. I use natos a lot but depending on the type of watch will depend on how I wear the nato. Passing the shorter end down to the bottom of the wrist (buckle area) instead of under the watch works great. 😉

Great watch! I've got one with olive dial. Like it very much

The swirls make it look more authentic and classic. Great review!

Great review mate. I really like the NATO strap that you got. You got a link of where you got it?

Yes, the sarb has nice hands and dial. A steal back in the day, until Seiko wised up. What would I change: the clasp and I'd add sapphire to the back.

Received mine as a gift from my uncle. At first I never wore it because it was an "homage" watch. But, I felt guilty when my mom asked me if I ever wore it and I told her I didn't. I began wearing it last year and realized what a dummy I was. It's a good watch and looks great on wrist. I'm more impressed with specs (316L steel, sapphire crystal, automatic self-winding movement, several micro-adjustments) after learning about them on YT. My uncle loves his and it's his one & only watch. He bought me one after I complimented his. I was a bad nephew for not wearing it initially, but am making up for it in earnest. It has garnered the most wrist-time in the past year. Recently, I've been wearing it NATO straps and like it even more. I always disliked the way NATOs looked, but it took wearing them for me to change my mind completely. Now I love them. Anyway, great video. Nice shots of the Alpha next to the Hamilton.

I went with some of the 2 piece they work better with some of my watches.

Err just use a Zulu or a Perlon strap. I like Nato because your spring bar pins will not be exposed to your skin therefore not exposed to sweat.

Nice review, love the watch. I've been really looking for just the right watch to pick up dog crap with , think this is the one! @ 6:10.

Tried cutting the part off now, thanks for the tip! might do it all natos haha

The Black and Gray strap is not the Bond Strap. The strap on your black dive watch is the Bond. With the brown tones in it. Don't you have the internet? That misconception was cleared up long ago. Your watch strap needed tightened up. One more hole tighter and you get a snug fit. SHeesh. That was hard to watch.

Good idea sir you scissors the strap

Great review

I go for a two piece RAF strap. Very thin and it’s in two pieces the watch actually sits on your wrist not on material. I have the same problem with having small wrists too, found NATO straps too bulky and the material uncomfortable to wear. My RAF strap is seatbelt material so it is very comfortable. Check Clockwork Synergy out!

The same with me, one layer zulu are the best for me!

Vostok is good. Soviet watch. I have one.

S looks like a snake

I don't like top-heavy diver watches for the same reason you do not like NATO straps. Too cumbersome and bulky. I like the NATOs on what I consider practical sized watches

I like the look of nato straps but the hardware digs into my skinny wrists and it drives me nuts that I can't wear my nato's for long periods of time.

After owning a Seamaster 300M midsize, I quite fancy one of these as a daily wearer. Bit put off though by all the accounts of bezel insert popping out...

LOL at the wool glove. I feel like a stuff animal is reviewing the Hope Diamond.

I own this waych for over 2 years now. It's a great watch, I love it. Well made, a real heft to it. It feels quality, It is quality. I had problems with the divers expension as well. Everybody does. The trick is, that you first click the extension in the clasp and then you straight out the clasp in line with the bracelet. Hard to describe this movement, but try it in this way and it will stay locked. You should make a video of this trick, that will explain it much better. But first you have to master the sequence of folding in and staighten out. Everybody first tries to get the clasp in line with the bracelet and then try to lock in the extension. That doesn't work, it pops out every time. The right way is, first the extension in the clasp and then straighten the clasp in line with the bracelet. Success.

Stunning watch. How do they have the nerve to put a pressed clasp on a nearly $800 watch tho smfh

Great review ! I am also am a Vostock cult follower/ member The watches are battle tested durable no frills and very reasonably priced !!

The 3 looks crooked

Im exactly like you hate the straps for same reason. I like the ones you recommend but can not find the Maratac straps in Europe and the site you link to do only ship international if order are over 150$ 🙄

i like your laugh 😉

If afraid of scratches while “hiking and working on the car” wear a G-Shock on the weekends 😎 just like I do hehe

I am sorry but these are not seagull movements. Have you looked inside to confirm this?

Часы восток-говно.

It’s pronounced ZINN not sinn. It’s a German name.

Where did you get that buffalo leather strap? It looks like 18 mm at the lugs but expands to 22mm and then tapers to 18 mm again. Exactly what I'm looking for

And is the lume decent or very bad to the point that is not useable?

Do anyone have the new Watch with the Myota movement? Is it better ?

I agree completely, I like nylon straps but not the nato with all the hardware

Where did you get your nylon strap

You can remove the strap underneath. Use a scissors. Those with the extra strap are called Zulus . I prefer the extra strap and either type is good insurance when you lose a pin bar.

Nice review! I have a first gen OM and about to get a first gen BM. The first get imo is the best looking one

Thanks for the idea to cut the second part off the nato. I am guessing that this is a common thing to do for instance if you decide to NATO any of the Gshocks with a strap adapter. The way it works it wont allow that second strap to really function they way it is meant to, so you can snip it and use it like a standard ZULU strap. If anyone is curious, Jay kay makes adapters for the G Shocks, so then you dont have to use the stupid proprietary 16mm springbars as means to use a NATO.

I do the same thing with my nato straps. So much more comfortable having one layer on a thinner strap. You might also want to use a lighter on the edges to prevent fraying

BONITO RELÓGIO, BRASIL OK.

I have the Seagull Ocean Star which although more expensive the overall quality is excellent. It has a Sapphire chrystal and is not really a homage as Seagull tend to do their own thing This Alpha is great value though. My son is going to get the Alpha Daytona.

Gift those 2 to Dutch and Finnish friends :)

The accuracy comes from the Seagull movement. I have the same one on my Seagull watch which has a date on it and its +5 seconds a day too.

I've owned this watch for close to 15 years and didn't even know it had lume!!! 😂😂😂

is it just me but Im really not a fan of the Rolex explorer.

Hope this guy is not in sales.

This might be a great watch if it wasn't trying to be an Explorer. You can hear the difference in the bracelet. It sounds clinky. With that being said I think it's always better to buy the real thing and not settle for a wanna be.

I’m never impressed with cheapo knock-offs of Rolex, in this case the Explorer 1. How totally classless...
